Supplementary questions were put to the minister, but, again, there were no real answers. Is it true that the Prime Minister has never attended an Australian military exercise? There's no denial; just more waffle. And why did he prioritise a six-day China tour over meeting our defence personnel? Again, nothing of substance. It certainly doesn't pass the pub test. Labor wants the headline without the hard decisions. They want to talk about strategic competition, but they won't fund the capabilities. They want to mention AUKUS, but they're asleep at the wheel when it comes to delivery. Our defence industry is at stake.
